Cambridge

Cases of Covid-19 have spiralled in Cambridge, fuelled in particular by outbreaks among the student population.

Meanwhile, Eddington and Castle, which also features a significant student population, had 38 cases in the seven days to October 19. Queen Edith’s had 26 cases in the same period.
